OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
People on the timeline are capitulating on Bitcoin again, and I think this is the worst time in the last 12 months to do it. If the bears are right they protect very little from here, and if they're wrong they miss a lot of upside. The level I care about is a weekly close below $75,000, not a wick under $77,000 or $76,000, and I'm a buyer into this capitulation in the $76,000 to $78,000 zone. The options market agrees: traders are paying up for puts into the November 6 expiry, the midterms week, but they only hedge down to about $75,200. Plus Ethereum catching a Glamsterdam bug just in time, Ripple's US national trust bank, Anthropic filing for an IPO at a $1.5 to $2 trillion valuation, and why Jason Calacanis telling people to sell Bitcoin for Bittensor reminds me of his June 2023 call.
